RSS Feed (xml)Welcome back the Locust Horde. Only yourself and your crack team of elite fighters (Delta Squad) can stop the locusts horde from ending the lives of all the humans on the planet. This time its not as simple as blasting your way through the game. What is evident in this game is it based around tactics, tactics and more tactics. The introduction of a new 'cover system' means you can employ the services of the enemy as a a shield. The graphics have improved from the Gears of War 1 opener and appear to be both more detailed and deeper in color.
The game offers both single and multi-player options. The solo mission is larger, harder and the weapons are more severe and destructive from the previous edition. Epic would be a word that comes to mind and this is not just a reference to the developer. The plot twists in this game keeping it both entertaining and interesting and should keep you coming back for more. One thing that does seem to have improved is the graphical glitches. Most games seem to slip at some point or another but this seems to be very rare on GofW2
The multi-player Horde mode is a welcome addition and extremely entertaining. You and four others can fight off wave after wave of Locusts and see who can survive till the end. This mode allows the gamer to take charge of any of the human fighters plus any of the locusts. It may take the more advanced of gamers out there a number of long sittings to get to the end, but there is no doubt it will have been well worth it.
